Not much of a problem Jim, just find a donor car. Any dual line car
W/O a booster will work. New steel lines with the British bubble flair
are at Napa and other stores.

I drive the single line cars , but I make sure that all is up to
snuff. Brake kits, flex lines and hard lines are all readily available
and cheap, so when I do brakes I do it all and I do not skimp on parts
or machine work.

Hi folks,

After two scary episodes of brake failure on my daily driver 66 BGT, I
am
thinking of converting to a dual circuit system.  Can anyone comment
on
the wisdom or ease of this conversion?

The first episode involved a hose that was cut.  Don't know how, but
it
was scary.

The second involved a pinhole leak in one of the lines.  Brake fluid
dropped rapidly.

I have my engine and tranmission out right now for a new clutch, so
now
seems like the time to do it.

Thanks,

James Howard
